The West Virginia senatorship.

The Philadelphia Inquirer says the
Hon. D. b. Lucas, of West Virginia,
was at the Girard HOUSE In that city
upon the receipt of the news that the
Legislature of his State had chosen
another TO represent that Common
wealth in the Senate at Washington.
Mr.. Lucas received the news phil
osophicalIy, and calmly reiterated his
declaration to maintain his title
90 through every vicissitude or con-
tingency. He takes the determined
stand that the Legislature had no
right TO transact any business than
that of which it was specially con-
vcned-the passage of appropriation
bills.
A Washington dispatch to the New
York World says: "Senator Sherman,
of Ohio, was asked how the Senate
would be likely to treat Mr.. Lucas's
claim to sit in that body. THE
point Mr.. Lucas makes against the
election of a Senator at an extra ses-
sion,' the Senator replied, ii new
one-that is, it has never been tried
before, to my recollection. There is
no doubt, however, that the constitu-
ton of West Virginia clearly states
that there shall be no business trans
action at special or extra session of
the Legislature except the business
they are called together to perform.
The question then that the Senate
will have to decide will be whether
the State has q right to restrict the
Legislature in the election of SEN
ator. l know of no other State cx-
ccpt West Virginia that has such a
clause in its constitution. The SEN
ate has never been called upon to de-
eide case of this kind, and of course
the matter will receive careful and jul
dicial attention if it comes before us
next winter. President Lincoln, when
he called Congress together in extra
session during the war, requested
that no business should be transacted
except that of providing for matters
pertaining to the war. Congress
adopted Il resolution, in response to
Mr.. Lincoln's suggestion, that no
other question should be taken up,
but of course it is beyond the power
of the President to confine Congress
to a certain class of Legislation at an
extra or regular session. Congress
can do as it pleases under the consti-
tuition. There would be no politics
in a contest such as Mr.. Lucas sug-
gests, rs it would be choice between
two Democrats, and think the case
would receive careful and judicial
study before any decision was made.
1 should not care to express any opin-
ion in the matter in advance of a jul
dicial examination of the legal points
involved

serenade to Judge Beckwith.

Judge Frank Beckwith, recently
appointed to preside over this (the
13th) judicial circuit, was on last
Wednesday evening made the rccip-
lent of handsome serenade. AT
about 9 o'clock, a procession, COM
posed of the members of the Bar
and large concourse Of citizens,
headed by the Colored Band, moved
from the courthouse, under the mar
shaiship of Mr.. T. f. Eddy, to the
residence of Capt. Geo. II. Flagg,
the clearinghouse of Judge Beck
with, where the band complimented
the new judge with some good music,
and display of fireworks (under
charge of Mr.. f. b. Souders) was
made. The Hon. VIM. II. Travers,
selected as spokesman on behalf Of
the citizens, then addressed Judge
Beckwith as follows:
Judge Beckwith-Your fellow-cit-.
lZeuS anu lhlo
method of rendering to you their con-
CALCULATIONS upon your elevation to
the important position of Judge of
this Judicial Circuit.
They have confidence that your ap-
pointment will call forth the exercise
of your best abilities to meet the
grave responsibilities thus devolved
upon you.
/ The members of the Bar, whom /
more directly represent on this oc-
CASTOR, desire me to assure you of
their conviction that the same fidelity
to duty which has marked your career
in the practice of the honorable pro-
fcssion, to which your life has hith-
erto been so faithfully devoted, will
characterize your dispensation of jus
tice from the commanding post which
you now occupy.
You have, am sure, their sincerest
wishes for your success, as you will
have their earnest cooperation in the
performance of the arduous task be-
fore you.
The judge responded in a neat and
fitting manner, returning thanks for
the compliment bestowed upon him.
In the course of his remarks he took
occasion TO bcstow tribute to
the worth of his colleague (Col. r. p.
Chew in the recent special session
of the Legislature, and concluded
about as follows:
Since your distinguished Chairman
has referred to me in such flattcr-
ing terms, desire in conclusion to
say one word about myself. In ac-
cepting the appointment of Judge of
this judicial Circuit. recognize the
grave and responsible duties which
the office imposes upon me. And it
will be my highest ambition, that
when step down and off from the
bench, every man whose rights of
property or rights of liberty have
passed upon may be able to feel and
to say, made an earnest and an
honest effort to be faithful and
an upright judge. My friends, l
thank you again.
The band then played several more
pieces, after which the assemblagc
dispersed, all highly pleased with the
result of tue occasion which had called
them together.

Dear Edior:- the day is near
when we Irvine the wreath DER our
gallant dead, and the anniversary of
the surrender of Appomattox has just
gone by, cannot forbear to make an
extract of letter of Gen. Adam
Badau, whom think was on the staff
of Gen. Grant. Gen. Badau, whose
letters appear weekly in the Wash
ington Post, has this to say of the
surrender: "Gen. Lee himself pa
rolled prisoner, going to his home by
permission of his enemies, his armies
all disbanded at the bidding of his
conqueror, not allowed to carry flags
or arms, he himself acore his SrOrd
and rode his horse because his cGptOr
had allowed" In book, think
called "reminiscences of Gen. Lee,
written by an intimate friend, the
writer says Gen. Lee determined to
cut his way through if his sword had
been demanded. Gen. Grant apol-
ogizcd for not wearing his sword be-
cause it had been sent ahead with his
baggage. There is also 4 primary
school history used in some of the
public schools with q picture of Gen.
Lee handing his sword to Gen. Grant
and the latter wearing his at his side.
THE SWORD OF LEE.
"Out of its scabbard! never hand
Waved sword from stain free.
Nor purcr sword led drawer band.
Nor brGreS blcd for a brighter land.
Nor brighter land had cause grand.
